Sunday School

More Ways to Serve Than You Think!

If you love God and love kids, there's a way you can serve in Sunday School.

  • Large Group Leaders tell the story creatively through puppets, drama, and music.
  • Teachers work with a small group of students to apply the story to their daily lives.
  • Education Station Volunteers welcome people and provide administrative support for Teachers and Large Group Leaders during a Sunday School hour.
  • Our Curriculum Development Team dreams up crafts, snacks, and activities that give kids hands-on ways to learn about God and grow in their faith.
  • To learn more about any of these opportunities to serve, contact Faye Koehn.

Advent Festival

If you love kids and crafts, you'll love being part of the Advent Festival. Help plan and organize this fun make-and-take craft extravaganza for children and families. Use your gifts to create hands-on craft projects for kids that will point to Jesus as the reason for the season. Be there on the day of the Advent Festival to guide kids and families as they make their crafts. There are many ways to be involved.

  • Contact Faye Koehn to learn more.

Summer Programs

Help make summer Vacation Bible School and other summer growth opportunities happen for children age 3 years - 5th grade. All kinds of gifts work together to make our summer programs a great experience for kids. You can help plan and organize the program, be a storyteller or teacher, or help with music, snacks, crafts, or games. Help for the entire week of VBS or just for one day.

  • Contact Faye Koehn for details on how you can serve.
